Libya: Saadi Gaddafi says 'unarmed millions' support his father

One of Muammar Gaddafi's sons, Saadi, a key member of the regime's inner
circle, contacts the Al Arabiya news channel and calls for "negotiations"
between his father's former regime and the interim Libyan government to save "any
further spilling of blood".

Still of the belief that his father's regime is "the legitimate government" of Libya, Saadi claimed in the phone interview that there were still millions of "unarmed" people who supported Colonel Gaddafi as he called for talks between the two sides.

Abdel Hakim Belhaj, head of the Tripoli Military Council, said he received a phone call from the 38-year-old on Tuesday.

"We told him, 'Don't fear for your life. We will guarantee your rights as a human being, and will deal with you humanely,'" he said, adding that rebels knew Saadi's location but wanted to negotiate his surrender.
